5. Notes for running XFree86 on Solaris x86

If you have not made the Virtual Terminal devices, you will need to
specify the terminal device to run the Xserver on. The correct
device is vt00 so your xinit command would look like so:

xinit -- vt00

If you have made the virtual terminal devices you do not need to
specify the VT to run the Xserver on.

To be able to run XF86Setup, you must at least create
/dev/vt01. Otherwise XF86Setup won't start.

For Solaris you will probably want to set your LD_LIBRARY_PATH to
/usr/X11R6/lib:/usr/openwin/lib:/usr/dt/lib.
Including /usr/X11R6/lib in your
LD_LIBRARY_PATH is probably not necessary, however it doesn't hurt. :)

Including /usr/openwin/lib in the LD_LIBRARY_PATH is
recommended
because some Sun supplied binaries were not compiled with LD_RUN_PATH
set properly at compile time.

Xqueue is NOT supported under Solaris.
The includes necessary for
Xqueue are available, however the driver does not seem to be in the
kernel. (Go figure)

If you want to use xdm with Solaris, extract the files from the shar
file in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/etc/XdmConf.svr4 into a temporary
directory. The README file tells where
the individual files need to
be installed. Be sure to read through each file and make any
site-specific changes that you need.
